The pair have been entered as missing persons, with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension telling Minneapolis PD it does not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety's criteria for Amber Alerts state they should only be sent out to the public when a child is abducted and there's reason to believe they're in imminent danger of serious harm or death; and when there's enough information to disseminate to the public that could help with the safe recovery of the victim and apprehension of the suspect.

Anyone with information about the pair's whereabouts should call 911 immediately.
